Into the Dead 3 Reveal Teaser Trailer

Leading games developer and publisher PikPok® today announced development has commenced on Into the Dead® 3, the highly anticipated sequel to the multi-million downloaded game Into the Dead 2.

With over 150 million downloads across a number of games on multiple platforms — including mobile, console, and Netflix — the world of Into the Dead continues to expand. In Into the Dead 3, roughly 10 years have passed since the events of Into the Dead 2. With society still torn apart by a devastating zombie apocalypse, players will discover gripping personal stories of adversity and survival, as well as the high-octane action they have come to expect from this highly successful franchise.

Into the Dead 3 will feature more heart-pounding missions, powerful weapons, deeper lore, and challenging gameplay, with the addition of new strategic and tactical aspects focused on trying to repair an impossibly broken world. Survivors will meet a whole new cast of characters, along with a few familiar faces, allowing both newcomers and veterans of the series to jump right into the action.

“With Into the Dead 3, we are leveraging the spiritual foundation of Into the Dead 2, but are building out something much larger and more ambitious to deliver a highly expansive gameplay experience,” said Mario Wynands, CEO of PikPok. “We are continuing to actively support Into the Dead 2, but after 10 years and over 150 million downloads, our development of Into the Dead 3 is a big milestone in the roadmap of the franchise and an exciting step for the company.”

Adult Swim Horror Movie Yule Log By Creator of Too Many Cooks

Adult Swim fans received an early holiday gift last night with the reveal of a new feature horror film from Casper Kelly, the acclaimed writer/director behind the viral Adult Swim short “Too Many Cooks.” Fans who stay tuned for the “Adult Swim Yule Log” after last night’s Season Six finale of “Rick and Morty” witnessed a traditional holiday fireplace video transform into Adult Swim’s first-ever live-action feature. After last night’s surprise airing on Adult Swim, a must-see uncensored version of “Adult Swim Yule Log” is now available to stream on HBO Max and to purchase digitally.

“At this time of year, it’s nice to recognize the people important to you, and for us, that’s Adult Swim fans,” said Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network. “We hope they enjoyed this gift that literally no one knew they wanted.”

Described only as a “cozy crackling fire,” viewers were forewarned that the TV-MA yule log contained “violence, adult language, and brief nudity.” After beginning with festive fireplace visual and holiday music, “Adult Swim Yule Log” gives way to unfolding a pulse-pounding story set within a remote cabin in which a mysterious and deadly fireplace constantly burns. Filled with mind-bending twists and a bizarre cast of characters, “Adult Swim Yule Log” welcomes viewers into a surreal, genre-defying thriller.

Kelly explains: “Last year during the holidays I was watching a yule log video and suddenly I had an image of legs walking past the fire, just slightly out of focus, and hearing dialogue off screen. I loved the mysteriousness of that, and a story started to form. I’m so grateful to Adult Swim for taking the plunge with me, and I’m so proud to have made their first live-action film!”

Like Kelly’s massively successful short, this micro-budget horror feature was also filmed entirely in Adult Swim’s hometown of Atlanta with local talent. Written and directed by Kelly (“Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell”), “Adult Swim Yule Log” stars Andrea Laing (“The Game”) and Justin Miles (“Half Baked 2).

The end credits song “The Fireplace” was performed by Puddles Pity Party and composed by “Too Many Cooks” scribe Shawn Coleman with lyrics by Kelly. It will be released by WaterTower Music and will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all digital streaming services beginning tomorrow.

DreadXP Announces New Studio to Bring Titles to Console Platforms

DreadXP — an independent horror publisher and production company — is thrilled to announce that it has founded a new development studio tasked with bringing DreadXP’s library of unique and spooky Windows PC games to consoles. DreadXP’s console port initiative begins with imminent Nintendo Switch releases of Sucker for Love: First Date, independent developer AkaBaka’s popular Lovecraftian dating sim, and the newly-acquired atmospheric horror game Iron Lung from developer David Szymanski. Both titles arrive on Nintendo Switch on December 16, 2022. Other DreadXP titles coming to Nintendo Switch include The Mortuary Assistant and SPOOKWARE in Q1 2023.

“As DreadXP has grown, one of the top requests that we’ve received from fans is having access to our games on consoles,” said Ted Hentskchke, Head of DreadXP Productions and Producer. “We searched far and wide for development partners to faithfully port our developers’ titles, and our search for talent led us to the creation of our new porting studio, Port My Game Collective (PMG Collective). We are excited to introduce console gamers to our slate of games for the first time and look forward to our goal of simultaneous multiplatform game launches.”

“As DreadXP enters console game publishing, we’re looking at our existing library of games as well as other cult hits in the horror genre that deserve to be played by as many gamers as possible,” said Abbey Smith, Co-Producer at DreadXP. “Our highly-rated visual novel dating sim Sucker for Love: First Date is the first of our existing titles to get ported. And in 2023, we’ll launch The Mortuary Assistant and SPOOKWARE on Nintendo Switch as well.”

She continued, “We also have the honor of publishing David Szymanski’s previously self-published PC game, Iron Lung, on Nintendo Switch next week. This is a new era for DreadXP, and we are so excited to put more spooky games into the hands of horror fans worldwide.”

The full list of presently announced DreadXP titles coming to consoles is as follows:

  • Sucker for Love: First Date — Nintendo Switch
  • Iron Lung – Nintendo Switch
  • SPOOKWARE — Nintendo Switch
  • The Mortuary Assistant – Nintendo Switch

Sucker for Love: First Date is available now for Windows PC on Steam, Itch.io, and the Epic Games Store, and on December 16, 2022 for Nintendo Switch. A sequel, titled Sucker for Love: Date to Die For, was announced in September 2022.

A frequent DreadXP creative contributor on such titles as Squirrel Stapler in Dread X Collection 2, independent developer David Szymanski is also known for DUSK and Gloomwood. Called “one of the most terrifying games I have ever played” by Vice Waypoint and “brilliant” by Destructoid, Szymanski’s Iron Lung was self-published for Windows PC in March 2022. The game is a short, dread-driven experience set many years after an event called The Quiet Rapture erased all hospitable planets from existence. Players embark on a journey into a newly discovered ocean of blood on an alien moon. In a claustrophobic one-man submarine, they’ll plunge the depths of the blood ocean and photograph their findings in search for any trace of remaining natural resources… and hope that whatever lives below doesn’t find them.

Iron Lung releases on the Nintendo Switch on December 16, 2022.

TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 New Trailer

Announced a few days ago during the Milan Games Week, TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 now reveals a brand new trailer, showcasing the skilled and distinguished Isle of Man TT Races rider, Davey Todd. Developed by NACON Studio Milan’s label RaceWard Studio veterans, TT Isle Of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 lets gamers experience the thrill of the most dangerous motorbike race in the world. The game will be available in May 2023 on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.

The excruciating pressure of a race where any mistake could have disastrous consequences, Davey Todd knows it too well. Davey Todd is an English rider who specializes in road racing and already has an impressive trophy haul at 27 years old. In 2018, while preparing for his Isle of Man TT Races debut, Davey practiced on his brother’s console for two months so he could perfect his knowledge of the circuit. As a result, he was ranked 2nd in the game’s worldwide leaderboards and became the second fastest newcomer of all time in the real race. In 2022, Davey gave a solid impression by topping the times during the qualifying week with a lap of 127,49mph! He also obtained a place on the podium in Supersport category and a 4th place at the ultimate Suberbike Senior TT.

The Isle of Man TT Races takes place on a 60km (37 miles) course where riders and their overpowered bikes take incredible risks to try and win the ultimate prize: being crowned champion of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course. TT Isle Of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 includes the official content of the 2022 TT (teams, bikes and courses) and offers a unique and authentic experience. The game features 32 different circuits, including current and historical courses, nearly 40 Superbike and Supersport motorbikes and riders, and upgraded physics. Controlling cornering and braking requires more precision than ever, and motorcycle upgrades gives players the tools they need to achieve maximum performance.

A new “Open Roads” feature has been added and plays a central role in TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3. Riders can travel freely on 200km (124 miles) of roads around the Isle of Man to find points of interest and challenges to complete, including online competitions as well as weekly and monthly events.

TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 will be available on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch in May 2023.

Creative Unveils Sensemore Air Earbuds

The new Creative Sensemore Air are the latest high-performance true wireless earbuds by Creative Technology which allow users to hear more of their surroundings than ever before, without compromising on audio quality.

The new Sensemore technology helps to address the oft-annoying inconvenience associated with earbuds – because they are in-ear and block out much of the aural environment, users tend to remove their earbuds in various everyday situations, for example when starting a conversation. This changes with the Creative Sensemore Air, as users are given full control on the level of environmental sounds they want to hear. With Sensemore Mode, which is 5 times more sensitive than Ambient Mode, users can hear much more of speech, and other environmental elements, which are amplified with higher clarity. As a bonus, when set to a higher intensity, it could even benefit folks with mild hearing deficiencies.

The Ambient Mode can be used when users would like to hear their music well while still being aware of the environment, for example while jogging along a busy street. Conversely, to shut the world out so as to fully immerse in the music, users can rely on the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Mode. The intensity of all 3 modes is fully adjustable through the handy Creative app.

Featuring a pocket-friendly charging case which is much smaller than the rest of Creative’s true wireless lineup, Creative Sensemore Air is easily the most portable model. Despite the smaller size, it retains the strong battery life that has become the series hallmark – up to 10 hours on a single charge, and 35 hours in total with the charging case. Upping the convenience factor, users get up to 2 hours of battery life with just 10 minutes of charging, and the charging case can be juiced back up with Qi-compatible wireless charging pads.

Creative Sensemore Air packs in these great features which make it comparable with high-end models several times its price:

  • Powered by high-performance 6 mm bio-cellulose drivers and expertly tuned for aural pleasure of clean highs, well-balanced mids and immersive bass. Equalizer tuning and preset profiles are conveniently available via the Creative app
  • Being IPX5 certified, it is sweatproof and suited for various workouts, both indoors and outdoors
  • Equipped with 4 microphones in total; 2 for background noise filtering in ANC mode; 2 for effective voice pick-up during calls
  • Fitted with touch control buttons, which can be customized for various functions via the Creative app
  • Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity
  • Certified as a SXFI READY* headphone so that users get to preview Super X-Fi Spatial Holography, which recreates the soundstage of a premium multi-speaker system, on local content and on new devices that are SXFI READY

Mr Sim Wong Hoo, CEO of Creative Technology, said,” The Sensemore Air is targeted at the mass market for all users who enjoy the convenience of great, portable audio with long play time; it is priced aggressively to suit this market segment. For users considering wearables in the hearing-aid market; while Sensemore Air may not be suitable for all of them, I believe it could benefit the majority of those with early-stage hearing deficiency. It would easily save them thousands of dollars, not to mention the hundreds of dollars needed for audiologist consultations. The US$80 Sensemore Air is a no-brainer choice.”

Pricing and Availability

Creative Sensemore Air is priced at US$79.99 and is available at Creative.com.

Dune: Awakening Announcement Trailer

Following the game’s reveal at Gamescom 2022, Funcom is now excited to show off the first pre-alpha footage of Dune: Awakening, their ambitious Open World Survival MMO. Inspired by the sci-fi masterpiece DUNE written by Frank Herbert and Legendary Entertainment’s award-winning, blockbuster film from Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Awakening is built with both Dune and Survival fans in mind by the veteran developers at Funcom. Witness the vastness of Arrakis in today’s brand-new teaser trailer.

Funcom has innovated in the Massively Multiplayer and Survival genres for over two decades, most recently with Conan Exiles.

In Dune: Awakening you strive to survive the countless dangers of Arrakis alongside thousands of other players.

Spice lies at the center of conflict, advancement, and power in Dune: Awakening. Where spice blows appear, players converge. Fights can range from quick skirmishes to large-scale battles with infantry, ground vehicles, and ornithopters each providing an essential role.

The deserts hold a multitude of choices to make and paths to discover. Jump into an ornithopter to scout the deep deserts; equip advanced armor and weaponry to become a deadly mercenary; execute an efficient spice harvesting operation; gain influence among Great Houses — do all these things and more.

Joel Bylos, Chief Creative Officer at Funcom and Creative Director of Dune: Awakening, says, “Working with a universe as rich and expansive as Dune is the perfect fit for Funcom’s drive to create compelling multiplayer open worlds. With Dune: Awakening, we’re trying to push the boundaries of what people expect in the Survival space – and I can’t wait until we can get it into the hands of our players.”

“We are thrilled to bring the Dune universe to life in such an immersive and interactive way. The depth and detail Funcom is bringing to the Dune: Awakening PC and console experience is astonishing and we can’t wait for fans of Dune and survival games to join us on Arrakis and try their hand at surviving the most dangerous planet in the universe,” adds Sam Rappaport, VP, Interactive Media at Legendary Entertainment.
